Working Wardrobes truly has some of the smartest, most strategic thinking and supportive Board Members, and new addition Ladan Davia is no exception.

Ladan, CEO and founder of the unique employment platform, Beeya.com, heard about Working Wardrobes through a friend who invited her to attend one of Working Wardrobes’ Smart Women events. She says philanthropy has always been an important part of her life, so she gladly accepted the invitation.

“The second I walked in, I knew I wanted to be a part of this organization,” Ladan said. “When I saw Jerri Rosen’s leadership and dedication to her clients, my feelings went from wanting to be a part of Working Wardrobes to needing to be a part of it.”

Ladan says that when she first met Jerri and got to know the Working Wardrobes mission, she decided to become a Smart Women sponsor. As a female entrepreneur, she felt it was important to support other female run organizations while helping women get back on their feet.

When she saw the impact Working Wardrobes makes in the lives of its clients from sponsorships and breakfast events, she wanted to get involved on a bigger level. And when Jerri asked Ladan if she was interested in a board seat, she jumped at the chance.

“I am currently the youngest and only millennial board member, and that is something I would love to change,” Ladan said. “I want to see more millennials get involved with Working Wardrobes, especially on college campuses. If more were aware of the colossal impact this organization makes on our community, they would jump at the chance to be a part of the opportunities Working Wardrobes is creating.”

Ladan’s organization, Beeya.com, matches employers and employees based on specific requirements. Beeya’s goal is to save both parties time and money by giving them accurate and exact matches to meet their needs. Employees can find employers to apply to, and employers can find employees to hire. Each profile features an employee’s personal statement, 30- to 60-second personal video, resume, references, portfolio, and more. Everything is on one platform, which allows employers to easily view each potential employee as a whole and bring him or her in for an interview without having to follow up for more information.

When Ladan is not working, she loves being around people and spending time with her family. She is a member of Lead OC, a business group that also focuses on charity work. She is also a big sister in the Big Brother-Big Sister program. She said if she has a chance to start a nonprofit of her own, she would love to do something related to animals.

“What I love most about Working Wardrobes is its ability to give someone a new chance at life,” she said. “It falls in line with our mission statement at Beeya. There are so many hardworking and intelligent people who find themselves off of life’s course and struggling to get back on. I think that if we as a community can help our neighbors find their passions and purpose for life, that makes all of us better.”
